Smelt, à la Toulouse.

ake twelve large or eighteen medium-sized smelts, bone them as for No. 51, and then close them up again. Put them in a stewpan, with half a glassful of white wine and three tablespoonfuls of mushroom liquor; season with half a pinch of salt and the third of a pinch of pepper, and cook on a moderate fire for six minutes. Arrange the smelts on a dish, add to the sauce twelve mushroom buttons, two sliced truffles, six fish quenelles (No. 111), and moisten with half a pint of Allemande sauce (No. 114). Thicken with a tablespoonful of butter sufficiently, and throw the sauce over the smelts. Neatly dress the garnishing around the dish, and serve with six heart-shaped croûtons (No. 116). (Smelts are all prepared the same way, only adding different garnishings.)
